Global Western Blotting Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The World Health Organization (WHO) designated the illness caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which first appeared in Wuhan (province of Hubei, China) in the last months of 2025 as "coronavirus disease 2025" or COVID-19. This virus spread quickly and had a serious negative impact on the economies, social behaviors, and healthcare of every country in the world.
COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to the lockdown, several countries such as India, China, Brazil, and others faced problems with regard to the transportation of drugs from one place to another.
COVID-19 had a positive impact on the global western blotting market. For instance, in August 2025, according to National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the western blot (immunoblot) technique to be used to determine which protein antigens are recognized by sera from patients recovering from COVID-19 to better identify those components of the virus that should be part of a monovalent vaccine or a vaccine mixture, especially if a live, attenuated virus is not used.
Global Western Blotting Market: Key Developments
Increasing launch of products for more accurate western blotting is expected to aid in the growth of the global western blotting market. For instance, in November 2025, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. launched EveryBlot Blocking Buffer, a western blot blocking reagent that offers a 5-minute blocking time and produces higher signal and lower background levels.
In May 2025, Precision BioLogic Incorporated, a leading developer of hemostasis diagnostic products, announced the launch of its new CRYOcheck Chromogenic Factor IX assay in Canada, the European Union, U.K., Australia, and New Zealand following market authorization by Health Canada and respective in-country regulatory authorities.
